My Favorite Martian

A sarcastic Martian with antennas comes to live with a hapless young Terran on earth. The show stars Ray Walston as Uncle Martin (the Martian) and Bill Bixby as Tim O'Hara. When a human looking Martian, named Exodus, lands in his one-man spaceship near Los Angeles, newspaper reporter O'Hara witnesses the extra-terrestrial arrival. He then decides to adopt the quirky Martian as his roommate.

In order to prevent mass hysteria, O'Hara insists that the Martian conceal his true identity, as the Martian attempts to fix his space ship. Tim passes off the Martian as his uncle.

Humorous situations arise, as it unfolds that the Martian has special powers. A few of include the fact that he can read minds, he can make himself invisible, he can communicate with animals, and he is also telepathic. Some characters in the series become suspicious of the Martian, including the landlady that rents to O'Hara. Her boyfriend, an undercover officer, also smells something funny. This sci-fi series was produced by Jack Chertok.
